STORY LINES

TEXAS TWIST: Two of the three national championships that UConn has won have come in Texas. The Huskies are 4-1 all-time in the postseason in Texas, with championships in 2004 (San Antonio) and 2011 (Houston). Texas beat them in the 2003 Sweet 16 in San Antonio. Overall, UConn is 9-6 in Texas, but lost both its games there this season to AAC foes Houston and SMU.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE: Both the Huskies (6-1) and Gators (3-1) have solid track records in the Final Four. While UConn is 3-0 when it has advanced to the championship, Florida is 2-1, with titles coming in 2006 and 2007. The Gators lost to Michigan State in 2000.

STREAKERS: The Gators have lost only twice all season, but the defeats came against teams (UConn, Wisconsin) still alive in the NCAA tournament. UConn's 65-64 win was Florida's last loss, coming on Dec. 2, and the team has reeled off 30 straight wins since. The 18-0 SEC record was the first time a team went unbeaten in an 18-game conference schedule since Indiana did it in 1976.
